Bitcoin hit an all time high today, and is now worth more than $1 usd for every day of its lifespan (3136 days). Silver got kicked in the balls...
Hmmm, btc @ all-time high and silver is magnificently cheap. I had to satisfy the jones and take some winnings off the table...
I sold .22 for $920 to an atm -- it all took about 8 minutes -- and i was on my way to my lcs, via the bullion exchange (i know...i have issues lol).
After talking with @britcoin, i checked out gold sovereigns... and damn if i didn't buy one!
And man o man does it go well with the silver version! The silver piece is one of my oldest coins, 30yrs+, and it has never looked so good. Once again i feel like i've stolen some treasure -- avast! lol
I also got some more silver "junk" which is one of the great oxymorons of all time!!!
20 x US half dollars:
10 x pre-1964 Canoe Dollars:
I got lucky with the light today. These pics were taken on the roof of my car, with a very hazy sun and some trees reflected in the bg. (The last few days it has been very smoky here due to many forest fires around the province.)
2 x 2017 Lynx (from predator series), and 2 x 150yr Anniversary privy, reverse proof Maples
I also got this sweet 2oz Buffalo for "generic"
...side by side with a 1oz Maple
And here's a close up of the Sovereign. It is a 1911-C, which means it was minted in Canada:
Some people may think i'm foolish to sell btc when its on such a roll, and i think i may be one of those people... but hey, bitcoin is ath, silver is multi-year low and at a historically perverse price to boot. Moreover, these amazing examples of specie are actually AVAILABLE. So what the hell! I probably won't be buying Silver when it hits over $50, but i will be buying and selling btc when its $10,000 per coin and above.
Bitcoin and Silver are different things: they DO different things, and behave differently from one another. But if there has ever been a better unified strategy for wealth preservation and augmentation then, please enter it here...
